Let the 70th edition of the UEFA Champions League conclude. In this year's edition, there were a few changes.
The league expanded to 36 teams this season, changing from group play to league play and resulting in 189 total matches. Beginning in September and concluding in May, it was a long but exciting season as Europe's best clubs competed for the cup.
While Real Madrid was the favorite, entering the season after winning their 15th title last year, it comes down to PSG and Inter Milan in the finals. PSG downed Arsenal while Inter Milan defeated Barca in the semifinals.
The Italian squad has a chip on their shoulder after losing the trophy two years ago. They've won it all once before, in 2010. The French team, however, is an underdog that should not be understated. They've made it to the Finals just once before, falling short in 2020.
Whether you're diehard supporter for either team or simply a soccer fan, the UEFA Champions League is your moment.
If you want to be at the finals live in person, the Sporting News has your guide for everything from tickets to stadium policies for the UEFA Champions League Final.
